Farm Heroes Saga is another addictive and popular game by King, the maker of Candy Crush Saga. The game play of Farm Heroes Saga is very similar to Candy Crush Saga, wherein you need to match certain items to score points. Playing the game is easy, and you can develop your own strategies as you move through the different levels. It can be played online through Facebook or on your mobile devices through its app.

Steps

Method1

Starting the Game

1

Launch the game. On the News Feed page of your Facebook account you’ll find some links on the left hand panel. Under “Apps,” look for and click Farm Heroes Saga to launch it.

If you’re playing the mobile version, just tap the game app icon on your home screen or app drawer. You can download the app for free from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.

2

Pick a level. You’ll be taken to the game map. Here, click or tap the level number you want to play. Each level is different and will have different goals.

3

Know the goals. A pre-game screen will appear indicating the goals for the selected level. Goals can be the points required to beat the level and/or the number of cropsies or items that need to be collected.

4

Hit the “Play” button on the pre-game screen to start your game. The board will appear.

Method2

Collecting the Cropsies

1

Study the level. Before you go on attacking the board by matching cropsies on it, analyze what’s in store for you first. Identify the different cropsies and items available and how they all relate to each other and your goals for the level.

2

Match cropsies. Most goals will require you to collect certain number of cropsies. You need to match similar cropsies with at least three in a row or column to collect them. Swap cropsies on the board in order to get your matches. Match four or more similar cropsies in one go to get more bonuses.

3

Multiply cropsies. You can multiply the cropsies you collect by adding bonuses or multipliers to them. Matches made beside cropsies will increase their multipliers. Match cropsies with multipliers to collect them. Be sure to collect cropsies with high multipliers before moving to a match elsewhere so that you won’t lose them.

4

Focus on the cropsies you need. Do not simply match any similar cropsies. You will just be wasting your moves on them. Focus on the ones that add to your goals. Save your moves so that you can get more points when you enter Hero Mode later on.

5

Do cascading matches. If your level has space in the bottom, focus your matches in this area. There’s a likely chance that you will get cascading matches made by cropsies falling from the top.

Method3

Dealing with the Other Items

1

Bloom the flowers. There will be levels with flowers that you need to bloom to collect. You need to make three matches adjacent to the flower so that it can bloom. The flowers don’t move from their place, so you can’t swap them with other items. Collect the flowers early on so you can have more space to move around.

2

Hatch the eggs. Some levels will have eggs that you need to hatch in order to collect the creature inside. Creatures can be chickens or alligators. The eggs need to be cracked three times by matching them before they can be hatched. Hatch the eggs early on so that you can get more cropsies to play with.

3

Melt the ice. There will be levels where certain cropsies are trapped in ice. You can melt the ice to free the cropsie by making a match with it. The matched cropsies will be collected except for the one previously trapped in ice.

4

Avoid Grumpy Cropsies. Some levels will have dirty-looking and angry cropsies; these are called Grumpy Cropsies. Any match made with these will be forfeited and will just be a waste of your moves. Better avoid these when making your matches.

5

Plant on the grass. There will be levels where you can see or grow grass. Make matches of cropsies on the grass to increase their value. If you put Grumpy Cropsies on grass, they will be revived to regular cropsies.

6

Explode the firecrackers. There will be levels where you have firecrackers. Use them to take out or collect items you need to meet your goals. In order to set off a firecracker, you need to make three different matches right next to it. Each match will shorten its wick until it explodes, taking out items you need.

7

Use the boosters. Depending on the level you’re in, you will have different boosters accessible from the top right corner. These boosters can help you with your goals and can get you out of difficult moves.

Shovel—Tap the shovel button from the boosters bar. You can then remove any cropsie from the board by pointing on it.

Tractor—Tap the tractor button from the boosters bar. Position it on a row, and it will drive down removing everything on it.

Bonus Rewards—This booster will give all required cropsies a +1 bonus. To activate, tap the “+1” button from the boosters bar.

Color Collect—Tap the dog button from the boosters bar and then point it on a cropsie you need to collect, and all similar cropsies will be collected from the board.

Clean-Up—This is helpful when you have a lot of Grumpy Cropsies on the board. Tap the two-faced button from the boosters bar, and all the Grumpy Cropsies will be turned to regular cropsies.

Super Fruit—Tap on the flower button from the boosters bar. Point it on an area and it will collect all the cropsies nearby. It will also add +2 bonus to the cropsies.

Egg Cracker—For levels with eggs, use the Egg Cracker by tapping the egg button from the boosters bar. All the eggs on the board will be cracked once.

Method4

Reaching Hero Mode

1

Complete the goals early. If you can, complete the level’s goals with some remaining moves. Once you reach all the goals, you will enter Hero Mode, which will allow you to use the remaining moves to make more matches to get more points.

2

Receive the bonus points. When you enter Hero Mode, random cropsies will get bonus points or multipliers after each move. You can see these reflected on the cropsies.

3

Match cropsies. Play as you normally would and make the matches. You can also do more than three cropsies in a row or column to continue increasing the multipliers.

4

Collect cropsies with high multipliers. To get the most out of Hero Mode, match and collect cropsies with the highest multipliers. The greater the number of bonus points per match, the more points you get.
